Coon Dog Cemetery
Rattlesnake SaloonYesterday was a most interesting day. We went to the Rattlesnake Saloon in Tuscumbia, Alabama. This bar is built in a cave. It's actually outside under a rock shelf that extends from the side of a rock cliff. While we were there, some people arrived on horseback. They tied their horses to a rail, like in the Old West, went in the bar for a drink, and then left. The parking lot is at the top and a truck with bench seats in the bed, brings you down this steep, windy, narrow, dirt road to the bar. They are only open Thursday through Saturday, from 11:00 A.M. until 10:00 P.M. They have a band each night starting at 6:30 P.M. It was way cool!
On the way back from there, we stopped at The Coon Dog Cemetery. Only pedigreed coon dogs are allowed to be buried there. It was built in 1937 and is the only one of its kind. Supposedly, its the dog cemetery in the movie "Sweet Home Alabama". You just never know what you'll get to see along the way.
